LCSW, 35 years of experience
New to Grow
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with many years of experience helping individuals who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or major life stressors. My approach is warm, steady, and practical—I work to create a safe space where you can slow down, breathe, and feel supported. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, worried, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward. Together, we take things one step at a time. I use evidence-based tools to help you understand your emotions, regain balance, and build healthier ways of coping. You don’t have to handle everything on your own. Therapy can help you feel more grounded, more hopeful, and more in control of your life again. I’d be honored to walk with you as you find clarity, confidence, and relief.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and life’s challenging transitions. My style is compassionate, calm, and practical—I aim to create a safe environment where you can pause, reflect, and feel genuinely supported. Many people I work with come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of the next step. Together, we approach challenges gradually, using evidence-based strategies to help you understand your emotions, restore balance, and develop healthier coping skills. You don’t need to face everything alone. Therapy can help you feel steadier, more hopeful, and more empowered in your daily life. I would be privileged to support you on your journey toward clarity, confidence, and emotional relief.
As a therapist, I bring a calm, steady presence, attentive listening, and years of experience supporting individuals coping with anxiety, depression, and life’s challenges. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, breathe, and share openly. Many clients notice a sense of understanding and support from our very first session. I help clients explore the roots of their worries, fears, and patterns—including phobias—using gentle, evidence-based strategies. I work at a pace that feels comfortable for you and break challenges into manageable steps so the process feels achievable rather than overwhelming. My aim is to help you feel more grounded, resilient, and hopeful. I provide practical tools, emotional guidance, and a warm, supportive connection so you don’t have to face difficulties alone. Together, we can work toward relief, greater confidence, and an improved sense of well-being.
I work most effectively with individuals managing anxiety, depression, ongoing worries, major life transitions, or specific phobias. Many clients reach out feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or in need of a calm, supportive space to process their thoughts and emotions without judgment. My approach is warm, steady, and compassionate. I incorporate evidence-based strategies to meet each person’s needs: CBT to explore and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, person-centered techniques to ensure you feel truly seen and heard, ACT to build emotional flexibility and move toward your values, and trauma-informed care to maintain safety, respect, and empowerment throughout our work. Together, we take manageable, meaningful steps that help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) helps you break unhelpful patterns, manage stress, and build healthier relationships—with real tools that create lasting change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps you break free from unhelpful patterns by showing how your thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Together, we’ll replace negative cycles with healthier ways of thinking and responding—so you can feel more confident, handle stress better, and build stronger relationships. Whether you’re a teen, adult, or couple, CBT gives you practical tools for real change.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy helps you stop feeling stuck and start seeing real progress—fast. Solution Focused Brief Therapy is all about moving forward, not getting stuck in the past. Instead of spending months digging into every problem, we’ll focus on your strengths, your goals, and the small steps that can make a big difference right now. Whether you’re an individual, a teen, or a couple, this approach helps you find practical solutions and start seeing progress quickly.
Changes can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to face them alone. I help people navigating big transitions, whether it’s a career shift, relationship struggles, caregiving, or adjusting to a new season of life. Using interpersonal therapy, we’ll focus on what’s happening right now and how your relationships and connections shape the way you feel. Our sessions are a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself. I’m not here to ‘fix’ you—I’m here to walk alongside you, offering practical tools to help you find relief, clarity, and confidence.
